Final poll results before elections

Several public opinion polls were released last week looking at El Salvador's March 1 elections. While there is variation among all of the polls, I think the consensus view of the polls would be:

Salvadorans view crime as the top problem facing the country.

The FMLN will have the most votes for deputies in the National Assembly (somewhere around 35-40%), but will not achieve a majority. ARENA will have the next highest vote total.

Nayib Bukele will win in San Salvador, allowing the FMLN to retake the mayor's office in the country's largest city for the first time in six years.

Most voters will vote for deputies by marking the symbol of their preferred political party, but a measurable number (10-20%) will engage in newly permitted "cross-voting" for candidates of multiple political parties.
